Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 289: I Can Help You Repair Weapons

"Black Chicken Country...?"

Upon hearing the words of the two generals and realizing his current location, Jiang Liu’s mouth twitched slightly.

Jiang Liu naturally remembered the situation in Black Chicken Country.

In the original plot of "Journey to the West," the section about the Black Chicken Country is quite unique. What’s special about it? It’s that the King of Black Chicken Country was killed by a friend, who then threw the body directly into a well. But astonishingly, there was a Well Dragon King living in that well!

This Well Dragon King preserved the King of Black Chicken Country’s body for a very long time, which eventually allowed Sun Wukong to successfully retrieve the Soul-Returning Pill and resurrect him.

It’s strange, isn’t it? A Dragon King in a well!?

Setting that aside for the moment, at least from what the original plot tells us, what General Lu thought about the need to clear the King’s court was correct. The emperor had been replaced, so his feeling over the years that something was amiss was not wrong.

But if he were to actually go to Black Chicken Country, the situation could be quite problematic.

Because the change in the king was not due to treacherous courtiers beside him, but rather because the king himself had completely changed into another person!

"Master! Please lend me your strength!" General Lu, seeing the support in his eyes, spoke up, requesting Jiang Liu’s assistance.

Having just witnessed Sun Wukong’s capabilities, both General Lu and General Zhang were thinking of obtaining Jiang Liu’s help.

Only with his help, could they completely defeat the opponent!

"Master, "all land under the heavens belongs to the King," no matter what General Lu says, this treachery cannot escape its charges. Please help me subdue him and bring him back to face the King!"

Seeing General Lu speaking up, General Zhang naturally didn’t want to fall behind and joined in.

Notice: Mission "Royal Law" triggered, requirements—successfully capture General Lu and return to the Royal City of Black Chicken Country to await the King’s judgment, success reward 500,000 experience points, failure penalty 500,000 experience points, Accept/Reject?

Notice: Mission "Purification of the King’s Side" triggered, requirements—successfully help General Lu find the true reason behind the King of Black Chicken Country’s drastic change in temperament and restore his former disposition, success reward 1,500,000 experience points and a Legendary Treasure Chest, failure penalty 1,500,000 experience points, Accept/Reject?

As the two generals argued and both sought Jiang Liu’s help, the system notifications sounded almost simultaneously in his mind, instantly triggering two quests.

Looking at the two triggered passive quests, Jiang Liu pondered silently to himself.

From the situation, these two quests seemed to be opposing each other, as were the stances of these two men, so he could only choose one, right?

Similarly, he could only help one of the generals, right?

However, after pondering to himself for a moment, Jiang Liu accepted both triggered passive quests!

Just as when the Supreme Elder Lord once presented two Golden Cores and let Jiang Liu choose, only children make choices. If there are benefits, of course, he’d take them all!

What does it matter if these two people are opposed to each other? Now that he had accepted both quests, he just needed to find a way to complete them.

This act was like betting on both player and bank in gambling.

But then again, was there any problem with that? Surely there was a way to complete them both, right?

After accepting both missions, Jiang Liu’s mind slightly shifted, and immediately, his gaze fell on General Lu as he spoke, "Regardless of whether you harbor doubts in your heart, and regardless of whether these doubts are truly reasonable, as a subject, openly defying the King’s orders is wrong!"

Upon hearing this, a smile of satisfaction appeared on General Zhang’s face.

Naturally, the corresponding effect was that General Lu’s face turned very ugly.

"Master! You..." Upon hearing this, General Lu looked shocked and exclaimed.

However, having made up his mind, Jiang Liu was not about to listen to him any further. He waved his hand and spoke seriously to General Lu, "I hope you will surrender willingly and accompany this poor monk to the Royal Palace to see the King!"

"No! The King has gone mad, I won’t go back with you!" Upon hearing Jiang Liu’s words, General Lu’s spear trembled in his hand as he spoke earnestly.

"Amitabha, if you intend to resist, then I regretfully must act!"

Seeing that General Lu was a level 28 figure, which was equivalent to the Meridian Unblocking Realm in human cultivation, Jiang Liu raised his Divine Tree Staff.

"Then, Master, don’t blame me for being impolite!" Seeing Jiang Liu raise his Divine Tree Staff, General Lu shouted loudly, and in the midst of speaking, he thrust his spear directly towards Jiang Liu.

In face of General Lu’s attack, Jiang Liu did not dodge or evade but simply swung his Divine Tree Staff directly towards the opponent.

With a single move, the spear was knocked flying by Jiang Liu’s Divine Tree Staff. Buddha Relic Dharma Ring (Legendary Level): Requires Level 40, Attack +3200, Special Effect: Overbearing Pressure. Wearing this ring diminishes the attack and defense attributes of targets lower than one’s own level by 20%, Durability 33/70. Affected by the special effect of this legendary ring, General Lu’s abilities were originally inferior to Jiang Liu’s, and now the gap had widened even further.

With a smack, the Divine Tree Staff hit General Lu on the head, a large damage value appeared, and immediately after, the health bar above General Lu’s head was emptied in an instant, his eyes rolled back, and he fell directly to the ground.

Notification: Gained Experience Points 1070, gained money 500.

As soon as General Lu passed out, almost simultaneously, the system’s notification appeared.

After all, it’s just a Level 28 presence, so the experience points gained aren’t much, just over 1000, which made Jiang Liu frown slightly.

Even though it’s a Level 28 from the Meridian Unblocking Realm, comparable to a Demon Soldier, just over 1000 experience points?

Could it be because my own level has increased, so when high levels fight low level monsters, the experience points are diminished?

Thinking about it, when I was around Level 20, killing a Level 28 monster always gave more experience points than this, right?

However, thinking about it, now that such a Level 28 exists, I can almost kill with one move. Even if I encounter ones above Level 31 and think about adding the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra, with the Demon-Subduing Mantra and Arhat Fist buffs, I believe I could also kill with one move, right?

One move, to gain over 1000 experience points?

If there are enough monsters for me to fight, and I strike a thousand or eight hundred times a day, wouldn’t I gain one million experience points in a day?

Looking at it this way, this is much better than just painfully cultivating alone!

It’s just a pity this is the real world’s Journey to the West, not an online game, so there aren’t so many monsters of the same level gathered together that can constantly respawn for me to fight.

With the help of elixirs, I have improved to Level 44 in just over a year. This growth rate is extraordinarily fast for Journey to the West, but if this were a real online game, only reaching Level 44 after more than a year? I believe such a game would no longer have any players by now.

"How about you guys? Are you going to take action?"

Shaking his head, Jiang Liu cast away all the random thoughts in his mind and soon, his gaze fell on the soldiers behind General Lu, and he spoke, eager to try.

These soldiers, due to years of training and fighting, also had their own levels.

One move per person, or even a mass attack if released, would bring him quite a bit of experience points from these few thousand soldiers, right?

"We, we surrender…"

However, although Jiang Liu was eager to strike at these soldiers, seeing how Jiang Liu had instantly killed General Lu with one move, the soldiers looked at each other, and then spoke up.

"Surrender? You guys, are you really that spineless? General Lu at least dared to resist. Don’t you dare?" Hearing the soldiers surrender, Jiang Liu felt somewhat disappointed and provocatively said.

"We are no match for the master, you don’t have to use such provocation!" However, in response to Jiang Liu’s words, one of the vanguards shook his head and said to Jiang Liu.

"Actually, if you all united, perhaps, you really could defeat me," Jiang Liu said with a somewhat helpless expression, still somewhat unconvinced.

"No need, we surrender, we surrender right now!" Seeing Jiang Liu’s disappointed look, the remaining soldiers, their faces changing in terror, hurriedly shook their heads, feeling even more frightened.

This Monk, despite looking humble and polite, turned out to be so terrifying. It seemed he wouldn’t stop until he had defeated everyone!

"Thank you, master, thank you for your help!"

Regardless of Jiang Liu’s current mood, General Zhang, watching him instantly kill General Lu and then having the other soldiers surrender voluntarily, was naturally extremely grateful.

Indeed, strength is truly powerful. With great strength, the rebels that he hadn’t been able to defeat after so much effort were easily handled by the master.

"Amitabha, General Lu is not dead; just in time, I was about to go to the Royal Palace to meet the King and exchange travel permits. How about we go together?" Placing his hands together in a humble and polite manner, Jiang Liu said.

"Of course!" Hearing Jiang Liu’s words about accompanying him, General Zhang nodded and said.

After discussing it, General Zhang sent some people to confiscate all the weapons of these rebels and then guarded them in place, waiting for the King’s final decision.

As for himself, he took hundreds of soldiers and went with Jiang Liu towards the Royal City of the Black Chicken Country.

"By the way, with nothing much to do, I have recently dabbled a bit in the Path of Artifact Refining, I wonder, General Zhang, do you have any damaged or partially damaged weapons? On our journey, I can help you repair some of them!"

While on the road, Jiang Liu suddenly remembered something, and spoke up.
